linux.corel.com was Corel Corporation®’s community resource for users of Corel® LINUX OS — news, tutorials, product detail pages, user-contributed input, and training updates, gathered behind Tux as the mascot. I worked on the team that produced it, in a web-quality-assurance role across the site’s content cadence.

The work
QA contributor on the Corel LINUX Community site, alongside the editorial and design team that produced the news, tutorial, and download content. The toolchain mirrored the rest of the Corel web estate: Corel XaRa, WordPerfect® Office 2000, CorelDRAW® 9 and 10, and a handful of period helper applications.
Tux mascot, community cadence, and content pipeline were the team’s. The credit is shared.
Other Corel-era properties
Same web team, same period: the corel.com homepage, the CorelCity.com portal, and the Corel Store at buy.corel.com. The discipline of community-resource sites — earnest content cadence, scheduled QA, restraint with marketing register — still maps to my website-design and development practice today.
